They do, absolutely.
I'll just speak about diversity in economics. Diversity is always a good thing. Our dependence on the United States until two decades ago, or 15 years ago, was a great thing, and we all thought it was going to last forever, but the train kept moving. We're on a train now, and the train's not neutral. It's going in a certain direction.
We have the opportunity right now as a rich country. We have the richest inheritance in the world of natural resources, of energy, of water. We also have a great population, an educated population, a kind population, and we can use this wealth now, before we go into a decline, a downward spiral, to protect our prosperity and build out our trading partners.
I just want to make a point, if I can, on national security. I share people's concern about foreign governments having our data. I'm also gravely concerned about groups of individuals that have our data, whether they're down south or anywhere else in the world. We also have to think about the dissemination of our data to private interests.
Thank you.
